I miss you like crazy, Dad had a dream the other night that you were still here... If only it was reality... I love you. ~Your Special Love



Still cant believe that your not here, I have to stop myself from calling you which isnt easy as dad has your phone number now. I miss you like crazy. I go back to the talk we had when you first came home from the hospital, and how little you looked laying in the bed, I hugged you and kissed you on your head and told you I was sorry for being such a brat when I was a kid, we talked for a min and I walked to the door and I turned around and told you I meant what I said, you laughed and said I already forgot about that, only you and ai knew what that meant. Those words had an impact that know one else will ever understand. I love you and I miss you so much, I know you are with Wade and Tyler, so you hold them close and keep watch over us until we are all togather again Love You Today Tomorrow And Always Tami






Hey nana... I start my first day of freshman year in 6 days. I wanted you to be able to walk in with me but God felt that you needed to be with him in heaven.  I’m still not sure on how to cope with this. And I miss you and think about you everyday. Everyone says it’ll get easier over time. But I’m not sure if it will or not. I’m lost to be honest and I don’t know how I’m going to do things without you here with me. I love you to the moon and back times infinite. 💕 ~ Your Special Love 

 I will miss you Sharon. Thank you for always being there for all our nurses and staff at NTSH.  
You were well loved by our patients.  You always made sure that they knew what their medications were and how important it was for them to continue to take their medications when they left the hospital.


I had 3 moma’s growing up and Sharon was one of them. I remember times that me, Tami, and Stephanie would inevitably get into “trouble of the day”. Sharon was the only one of our moma’s that truly scared us. I have no doubt that if she knew half the stuff we did, she would’ve beat all 3 of us. It didn’t matter that me and Stephanie weren’t blood, Sharon loved us and treated us like we were. Throughout the years, she has always welcomed me and has never treated me any different than she ever had. I loved her, as if she was my own flesh and blood. RIP Sharon. I will truly miss you. 

Your “other daughter”

I will always remember your sense of humor and your laugh! My favorite memory was Thanksgiving circa 1986 when you talked my mom into using a hand held blender for the mashed potatoes and ditching the old school potatoe masher .   Needless to say we were all covered in potatoes, it was hilarious and I'll never forget it.  I know Heaven is full of extra giggles now.  Love you and will see you when I get there! <3 ~ Dana

U my mom will always be in my heart. I thought we would have more time in this world together but seems my plans didn't work out. I could never tell u how much I love u and will miss u. I am so glad u came to stay with us when u came home from the hospital. I will miss are long talks at night when I thought I was gonna go to bed early instead sat on the couch and we talked past  mid night.  Who am I gonna call when I go get gas at night or when I drive to the kids games by myself out of town to stay on the line tell I get back home or meet shannon. My momma I cry and stay up at night thinking of u. Dont know when I'll stop are if I can. God did bless me with a wonderful wife shannon and great kids that loved u dearly. I didn't shut her out like u asked but been kinda of short with her lately lol. I'm gonna miss all the crap I pulled on u like the time i told u had to plug the car up so it wouldn't  freeze and u went out there in the cold to try and find the plug on the Honda. U never got me back and I'm glad lol. U gotta be proud of tracy she has been the strong one out of us 3. Trying to shield the questions we all ask and not break down to be there for us. I have shannon to put my shoulder on when tracy not there tami has Charlie and when tracy goes home she has to sort it out herself I try to be there for her but we all know I'm the wuss when comes to things like this
I just wanted u to know I LOVE U. I miss u every day and night we all do. When I kissed ur forehead and held your hand for the last time on this earth my heart broke but i know your not alone and with great company. But when it's time for all of us to be together again where gonna celebrate that birthday of mine u said we would I won't forget. I love u mom.  TRAVIS
